Overview

Product overview

Probot is a compact probe pusher system designed to move inspection probes through heat exchanger tubing. Its production-oriented design supports both one-person and two-person operation, with a small footprint intended to simplify transport and setup.

The system automates probe movement at speeds selected to suit the inspection technique rather than performing the measurement itself. An electric belt tensioner eliminates the need for compressed air, while integrated power and controls avoid external control boxes. Magnifi software provides configuration and control for automated and fully manual modes.

Designed for balance-of-plant (BoP) and heat exchanger inspections, Probot supports industry-standard probes and Eddyfi tubing probes. It can be used with TubePro for results and reporting and with an Ectane test instrument as part of a heat exchanger inspection system. Available slipring configurations listed on the page include 4-pin, 19-pin and IRIS.
